The harm of nail art that must be known

For women who love beauty, different colors of nail polish are essential. But nail polish is harmful to the body, and women who love beauty should be cautious.

1. Hazardous substances

Generally, the nail polish you know is unpleasant and pungent. Those nail polishes are very harmful and contain chemicals. After inhaling into the lungs, the odor cannot be discharged and enters the blood, posing a cancer threat. Very corrosive, it will corrode nails when applied to them. And nails don't breathe and turn yellow. The solvent components of ordinary nail polish are basically toxic and harmful substances, which most people don't know. Among them, phthalates and formaldehyde are the most powerful, followed by acetone and ethyl acetate. Phthalates can interfere with the normal hormone balance, leading to serious reproductive damage and other health problems; Benzene and formaldehyde are carcinogens. It has also been reported that some ingredients in nail polish may have an impact on the health of the fetus, so we should pay close attention to them.

2. Polishing and waxing damage nails

For the sake of beauty, the manicurist will polish your nails with special fine sand skin and suede sticks. After such "processing", you will find that your nails become smoother, so girls are willing to polish their nails every time they do manicure. But slowly, the nails will become thinner and softer. It turns out that polishing the surface of nails often damages the enamel of nails. You know, once the nail loses the protection of enamel, the protective function of the nail will be destroyed, which is easy to cause infection of fungi and other germs. Many nail shops use scissors, tweezers and other nail tools that are not disinfected thoroughly, which are easy to be infected with diseases such as onychomycosis, tinea of hands and feet, and sometimes lead to cross-infection.

3. phototherapy lamp can easily lead to skin aging.

Girls who do nail polish know that blue light is actually ultraviolet light after brushing nail polish. Put your hands or feet into your body for 30-40 seconds at a time. This way of lighting can make nail polish harden and dry quickly. But who knows, the main peak wavelength of this ultraviolet ray is 370nm, which is called "long wave black spot effect ultraviolet ray". It has strong penetrating power, can reach the dermis of skin, destroy elastic fibers and collagen fibers, and even cause skin aging and wrinkles. Do the girls who often watch the lights find that their hands or feet have turned black or wrinkles have increased?

Nail discoloration

The darker the nail polish, the greater the damage to the nail. For example, dark red and black nail polish may deposit on nails, thus turning them yellow. Although pigment will neither affect the keratin structure of nails nor affect the skin through nails, it will definitely affect the appearance, because if nail polish is not applied, nails will look yellow and feel dirty. So girls have to reapply nail polish to cover up the yellow color, thus forming a vicious circle: cleaning-seeing nails turn yellow-and then applying nail polish to cover up.

If you really want to apply nail polish, how can you tell whether it is good or bad? Nail polish can be applied to the foam. If there is a big hole in the foam, it means that the quality of nail polish is not good. If the foam is still smooth, it means that the quality of nail polish is better, because the big holes indicate that nails are corrosive. In fact, you can see that the foam board is slowly corroded by nail polish. Melting off such nail polish means that chemicals will hurt your nails and endanger your health.
